Personally, what I am really interested in seeing is complete support
for MS Word's WordArt. I find I am unable to edit WordArt with
Writer.
I find Fontwork to be really good; compared to WordArt even better in
most ways. I would like being able to rotate by dragging a handle like
in office, and to havea few more gradient options (for many things) and
easier to use color options. (see below)
Also borders (including border art) and shading/background options is
lacking, as is the color options. I like to see several different color
and shade options such as the hexagon and custom pattern in office as
well as the shade intensity selector (or whatever you'd call that) or
even something resembling an html color options chart would be more
helpful than the basic options there are now. What I would like for
shading would be to use the color options with draw such as gradient,
the area options, etc. for backgrounds on the page as well as the frames
(I use frames because it has similar functionality to the text boxes in
publisher). More options for gradient would be great too, such as to be
able to better control the size of the gradient area (I may want it to
fade 1/4 inch from the edge, or most of the way to the center). What I
would like for borders would be to be able to have simple dashed, dotted
etc. lines as well as border art. Border art as in being able to have a
picture repeat itself for the border, or be able to have a zigzag or
other such continuous pattern around the border.
It would also be convenient to be able to affix a graphic directly to a
frame, so you could get the orientation desired in the frame and
maintain it when the frame is moved. Also to be able to rotate a frame
with a handle like you would with the Fontwork suggestion.
That's my 2 cents on the functionality I would like to see in Ooo that I
currently depend upon publisher for.
